World of Warcraft offers free level 80 characters
Language »
Blizzard Entertainment has announced that subscribing players will be able to invite previously subscribing friends back to the game for a seven day trial using the Scroll of Resurrection.
Once the invitation has been accepted and the subscription has been renewed, the returning player will be able to choose a character to boost to level 80; while all class spells and skills will also be unlocked, as well as a flying mount and riding skill and green quality gear. The sender will receive an exclusive Spectral Gryphon or Spectral Wind Rider mount, depending on their faction.
Blizzard hopes that this incentive will bring back around 100,000 players to the game, especially as all the characters previous gear will be mailed back to the character in-game.
You can get more information from Battle.net, but if you're looking to get back to the addictive game that is WoW, then this might be incentive enough…
